There is little doubt that there is increased awareness about the usage of white space as a design element. The best thing is to have a elegant layout and loads of white space pervading the layout.

Yeah, just designing a website for someone and I recommended lots of white space, still could not resist throwing a bit of light grey in though http://www.crystalcleandriveways.com

The great poet Robert Bringhurst once said, "Space in typography is like time in music."

It's a fundamental building block of first class design.

Does this mean that my web design (http://www.easicooling.co.uk) skills are ahead of their time? I'm wasted on fridges.;)

Fine for a poet, but if you're in business, you don't case about "first class design", you care about sales.

If you're using paid advertising, there's a clear trade-off between white space and keeping down the cost of the ad. And a lot of white space usually doesn't pay for itself.
